MODES AND MOODS

Modes and Moods both influence our self-image and the clothing best suited for various professional and social circumstances. As we covered in training, consider the following as you use StyleSeek in uncovering products and creating looks:

Interview: Research the corporate culture, blue suits to blue jeans – always ask the recruiter or HR director what the dress code is and what is recommended for interview.

Workplace: Keep in mind that your position in the company (entry level to senior management) may influence your dress.

Work-Related Occasions: Picnics, Holiday Parties, Seminars and Trade Shows are just some of the occasions that require additional thought and adjustment for dress.

Social Occasions: Family Functions, Weddings, Baptisms / Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, Engagement Parties, Holiday Parties and other occasions require additional thought.

Everyday: Whether you’re going to the beach, ballpark, bowling alley, restaurant, bar or club, there’s a best way to dress, StyleSeek can also be your best method for selection.
